All the Alex Jones shenaniganry has had me visiting this sub again, and a lot of the vitriol against him makes me sad. No, he's not "the leader" of the operation, no, he doesn't quite get the whole picture here, no, Alefantis is not innocent. But why is it so hard to believe that Jones finally got threatened so hard he had to denounce Alefantis statements?
Most of us here recognize that Alex Jones is doing something weird here, against his normal MO. Instead of taking that as a hint that something happened to him, everyone's just yelling "FUCK YOU ALEX JONES! FUCKING SELLOUT! CIA DISINFO OP!" and not looking too critically at the situation. If Alex Jones reads a lawyer-written statement, says he won't talk about Pizzagate anymore, then has a "special" 2 days later re-iterating Alefantis is innocent, why in the world would you take that at face value? You could almost ask him to "blink twice for help" at this point.
As someone astutely pointed out, Jones going on about how Alefantis is innocent puts a target on his back. That might be the point, consider that? Alex getting his ass sued off, has no more ad revenue, and the only way for him to indicate what's happening was to say, "ALEFANTIS IS INNOCENT, I WONT TALK ABOUT THIS ANYMORE," and then going again 2 days later, "ALEFANTIS IS INNOCENT, I DID THIS ALL OF MY OWN FREE WILL, DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO HIM." Especially right before Alefantis shows up on 60 minutes to laugh about fake news?
To me, it seems like he got threatened hard enough by lawyers he had to retract, and also did his hardest to indicate his viewers shit was going that he was legally bound to not talk about. Alefantis is one of the 50 most powerful men in DC, why is this so hard to imagine?
OK, so if he's lying about the facts surrounding pizzagate, for whatever reason, then at the very least can we agree to use the many other sources INSTEAD for our pizzagate info and advice? This just seems so obvious to me.
Absolutely agreed, 100%. Alex Jones was never the main source for pizzagate, and he won't be. He's just thrust himself in the middle of the situation after being silent for months for reasons we've all speculated on. I mean, I'm pretty sure he's not even up on the shipping company connections, based on his two recent "reports," why rely on someone who isn't onto months old information?
My big thing is to not throw the baby out with the bathwater he's pissed in, because there's still value there. Him talking about the rest of the pedogate links is reason enough for that.
Not sure how it helps to have him at all. but that's OK, not many agree with my extreme take on this guy. i cannot stand him. i'm pretty sure he's CIA, i left proof here https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1618655
